Follow on Google News | Petra Eiko and The-Green-Heart Now at Galiara’s New Gallery 4N5Malibu based artist and author Petra Eiko is now showing in San Francisco.
By: the-green-heart Eiko is a truly innovative contemporary artist with her reverse acrylic paintings on Plexiglas. Her artworks radiate energy, light and the ever-changing yet constant movement of life. The images express the power and force of feelings that arise from within. At the same time, they capture the pulsating vivacity of the universe. Her circle paintings show the emotional human dance around the ultimate middle—emerging outward from a dot that represents the point of silence and all beginnings. Eiko works with various color combinations and movement to emit an energy that travels from the painting to the eye of the viewer, penetrating into their deeper self. In 2009, Eiko launched the-green-heart project to inspire and share positive ideas, thoughts and widen the human circle through public art. This was conceived as a platform to increase peace, one step at a time. It encourages understanding, hope and harmony between individuals and nations. Eiko successfully evolved the-green-heart project in 2010, creating a large-scale public art piece displayed in eight locations throughout California thus far. Community members expressed their hearts anonymously on paper and posted their creations or small drawings on Eiko’s art installation. With thousands of expressions so far, it has also been scaled down to a travel-sized version in five Los Angeles area High Schools in 2011 with more installations planned in five more schools in 2012. The installation: By truly expressing our hearts on Eiko’s art wall, these messages become part of the actual art piece, and generate more understanding. One participant at Gallery 4n5 shared: "I am grateful for being able to live an authentic life full of humor, passion, fun, creativity, freedom, and most of all love and happiness!" All these unique expressions are beautifully shown on a special FaceBook gallery and selections will be placed in future installations for the world to see. A special commemorative volume is planned as a witness of our reflection on life. The proceeds will go to youth art programs. Eiko’s artwork has been exhibited in the United States, Germany, and Korea. Gallery 4N5 is located between 4th and 5th Streets at 863 Mission Street in San Francisco. Eiko’s stunning artwork and her “What is in your heart?–The world is listening” project will be up through the end of February 2012. A selection of Eiko’s paintings will also be available for purchase at: http://www.galiara.com/ More info: www.the-green- End
